Linux on an old machine

[Curtis Vaughan]

Ok, I want to put a linux distro on an old handheld pc. Here are it 
specs. Most distros, however, don't seem to like the lack of RAM.

TOSHIBA LIBRETTO 50CT
PROCESSOR Intel Pentiumï 75 Mhz
16Mbit EDO DRAM
I wanted to put Knoppix on it, but Knoppix won't like the low ram at 
all. I would put Debian on it, if I thought I wouldn't have problems 
with devices. Any ideas about how to do this?
